Constraint Programming is a flourishing area of research aiming at the
efficient solving of combinatorial problems. The Third International Summer
School on Constraint Programming is an introductory school on Constraint
Programming and it is oriented to PhD students, researchers, and
practitioners of all levels who wish to learn about this area.

The program of the school will include the following courses:

  * * Symmetries in CP  (Barbara Smith)
  * * Continuous constraints (Frederic Benhamou)
  * * SAT and CSP  (Lucas Bordeaux)
  * * Operations Research in CP  (John Hooker)
  * * CP systems (Christian Schulte)
  * * Complexity in Combinatorial Problems (Jerome Lang)


The school will take place in the Hotel Guitart Central Park of Lloret de
Mar, Spain. Lloret de Mar is  a sea resort 70 Km North of Barcelona.
Instructions on how to register to the school will be posted soon at the
event web page. For the moment, we can advance that the early registration
fee will be approximately 350 euros and the room rate at the 3 stars hotel
will of 53.40 Euros per night in single room and full board (even cheaper
